Dear Settlers,

Throughout time, many of our community members shared their game knowledge and created guides for helping out their peers. Today we ask you to do the opposite.

What is the worst way of playing the game? Leaving your specialists at home all the time, ruining your economy or perhaps letting bandits invade your island?

Show us your anti-guide of playing TSO in the forums!

Happy Opposite Day!

Dear Settlers,

It is quite uncommon for a Captain of a famous ship to send out SOS signals. Surely, something serious is at stake if Sonya needs your help. Are you up to the task? 

Read her full story in our forums and carefully choose the next step which will decide Sonya's fate. Let's try to help her out! 

Good luck!
